Cash is joined in the Class of 2020 by Lauren Jackson (Player), Debbie Brock (Veteran Player), Carol Callan (Contributor), Tamika Catchings (Player), Sue Donohoe (Contributor) and Carol Stiff (Contributor).

Cash, originally acquired by New York from the Atlanta Dream in exchange for DeLisha Milton-Jones during the 2014 season, appeared in 80 games for the Liberty.

A three-time WNBA Champion (2003, 2006, 2010) and four-time WNBA All-Star (2003, 2005, 2009, 2011), Cash has also won two Olympic gold medals with the U.S. Women’s Basketball National Team (Athens 2004, London 2012).
